Who could have imagined that Kong Li spent many days of preparation before the annihilation war that the defenders in the city called out was actually a trap and decoy against him. The confluence of Sun Ru's Caizhou Army with Liu Hanhong's Huaixi Army was also something that caught Kong Liluo off guard.
Therefore, under the superposition of these multiple factors, he tasted his first defeat in his life. Even though his army was equipped with a considerable proportion of firearms, in the face of the attack of the horse team from the Huaixi army, the array he had hurriedly formed had not been able to hold back and respond to the front battlefield, and it had been destroyed.
Even the flags and signal poles around him were cut down and broken; and he was also overturned from the horse. Although he was lucky enough to rush for his life under the guards desperately left and right, but for the command of other troops besieging Caizhou army, it was completely immersed, and fell into a situation of irreparable collapse.
In the deep siege of the enemy, Kong Liluo's life was saved, and it was the two hurried shots that disrupted and frightened the enemy rider on the spot, so that he could make inquiries under the circumstance of all enemies. With the direction of the voice, he slammed out, and merged with the people of the urban construction system at the last point.
He didn't worry much about whether he could escape the enemy's follow-up pursuit. As long as the remaining people could retreat safely along the Caohe River to the shore of Gaoyou Lake, they would be able to get the support of the water surface power from the Taiping Navy. It's a pity that those subordinates who followed you for many years still have supplies that were forced to give up.
You must know that the core and backbone of his subordinates’ main combat effectiveness came from those Fansheng sons gathered and incorporated in the city of Guangfu, that is, the Hu businessmen, the Fan people, and even the Orchid in various courtyards in the local area. Left (abandoned) mixed-race descendants. After changing hands in Guangzhou, these outcasts who lived on the streets were gathered on the advice of the nobleman.
Among them, those who looked a little like Huaxia were naturally added and incorporated into the camp of the rebels. The more alien in appearance was compiled as a separate one, and after the changes in the Cantonese government, the nobleman began to take charge, and then he was listed among Kong Liluo’s subordinates and became his long-term business and development outside the territory. Guarding the armed forces to help him control the source of troops recruited on the spot from the outside world.
After these years of various armed conflicts and battles outside the region, losses and follow-up supplements have led to such an armed guard regiment and capable combat team called "Fanwai Yicong". Now a large number of them have been lost and collapsed on the spot, even if they can gather some back then, they don't know how long and how long it will take to make up again.
As for the other materials and equipment, it didn't matter, mainly the two small cannons that were too late to take away. Although the fire gate had already been killed with iron thousand, even if it was captured, it could not be used; but the heavy cast iron alone would inevitably make people feel regretful and painful.
As one of the more than one hundred state officials (masters) under the Taiping Army's rule, Kong Liluo, one of the few who was born as a naturalized person, naturally has corresponding pursuits and hopes. It’s just that as the chief governor looked more and more like the ancient "Justinian" Great Emperor, he created all kinds of great achievements; and he wanted to stand out from the other side, this is the hope of the Chinese version of "Peleliusa" , But it is inevitable that because of the defeat in this battle, he suffered setbacks and blows again.
"I will definitely be back...!"
While fleeing, he kept taking off his armor, robe, cloak, helmet and hair towel. In the end, Kong Liluo, who had become as indistinguishable as most people, also roared in his heart:
At the same time, under the city of Shanyang, the Cai Zhou army, who could not hide the scars and exhaustion but was invigorated, was also working hard to clean the battlefield in a certain kind of excitement and beauty. From time to time, several scolding and fighting broke out. conflict. Because in their seizures, they can always find something that has never been seen before.
Whether it is a fixed ration consisting of paper-wrapped slab sugar and dried meat, fish floss, pickles, prunes and compressed biscuits; or a large barrel of wine and tea soup, or a clay bottle in a backpack and a canned meat and vegetable in a bamboo tube , It was enough to make these Cai Zhoubing, who had been used to eating dry cakes for a long time and had nothing to drink congee, was pleasantly surprised, and without any hesitation, he pried and cracked on the spot, grabbing and chewing with his hands like this.
As the generals of the Caizhou Army, they temporarily gave up the restraint and control of these soldiers and focused their attention on some other trophies; because the proportion of iron weapons seized among these "peace thieves" was almost scary. It seems that every thief soldier has several to a dozen iron objects, large and small.
"I think this peace thief is nothing more than that. How can you make Er wait so restrained?"
As the main general, Qin Zongheng also looked at the seized military equipment with pride, and said to Wei Ran, who was meaningful to the left and the right:
"What they say is that the firearms are sharp, and they only occupy the starting position of ambushes and sneak attacks. Once they are covered by the horse team, they are nothing more than a mortal body with a head, two legs and two hands..."
"Three rates are quite true..."
"The general said well..."
In the end, the local general led by Sun Ru, the commander of the decisive victory, was somewhat lacking in confidence or reluctantly agreed with him with a strong smile.
Then, Qin Zongheng looked at Linlin’s full range of swords, weapons, and armors, but it was from which club-like three-eyed guns and big-mouthed guns passed one by one, and finally landed on the ground after the two doors were damaged by the wheels. He was forcibly pulled back by dozens of manpower to the noose and was covered with muddy cannon. Seeing that he kicked his feet hard and felt motionless, he said loudly:
"Did this thing break my defense at the beginning? It was very sharp, but unfortunately the radiation was too slow, and I was rushed to the body at the first sight..."
However, he sternly said:
"It's also to blame you for not being optimistic about your subordinates. Afterwards, you didn't even keep a few injured lives, but let me find someone who can know what to call these households! Right now there is this hundred kilograms of good iron, but I can only look back. Take it to the furnace and transform the soldiers..."
Hearing this, the few generals behind Sun Ru who were still pleasing to the eyebrows, their faces changed slightly, and they inevitably showed their unrestrained colors. You must know that these locals who acted as decoys, without the knowledge of most of the soldiers, went out of the city to fight forever with the peaceful thieves, and won the decisive moment when the foreign aid arrived.
However, at the next moment, Ma Yin, a cavalry officer who was nicknamed "Carpenter" in the army because of his original profession, disregarded Ben's bloody half of his body wounds, and approached Sun Ru with a face of flattery. By his side, they just concealed their movements and expressions, and said in a humble voice:
"It's true that the children are so badly beaten by the gadgets. It is inevitable that they will not be able to stop them when they are ruthless. Please forgive me for the third rate. If you don't wait for the enemy chaser to come back, there may be a few more stubbornly worshipped Where's the pommel horse?"
"Never mind..."
Seeing his tragic situation and low posture, Qin Zongheng snorted heavily in his nose, but he didn't continue to use the question.
Because Liu Jianfeng, the commander of Long Xiang, who was originally his powerful subordinate, saw that there was no hope of rescue, he actually took the remaining men and horses on the boat to cross the water and went to the Yanhai Jiedu/Taining Army site downstream. Therefore, after taking the opportunity to suppress and divide these foreign generals, he still has to continue to drive and use these local troops to deter and counterbalance Liu Hanhong's Huaixi army without overriding them.
At this time, it was as if he should have thought, a ride that galloped over again to raise the flag, and then fell in front of Qin Zongheng, but Xu Dexun, the school lieutenant who was in charge of liaising with the Huaixi Army, saw him speak immediately:
"Having reported three rates, the Huaixi horse team has already returned from chasing the enemy, and will come to Shanyang to join soldiers immediately..."
Hearing these words, the generals of Shanyang headed by Sun Ru could not help but change their expressions again, because they were defeated by the Huaixi Army who was fighting against the Shouhao Army at the beginning of Guangling City. Lost and fled. Now that after defeating the sad peace thief, who knows if the old things will happen again
However, Qin Zongheng, who seemed to have feelings, rolled his eyes and continued to ask:
"So what else can you say?"
"Yes, yes, the leader Jiang Gui claimed that in addition to dividing the city into six, he also hopes that the third rate will come up with the guarantee of the original invitation as soon as possible..."
Xu Dexun hurriedly said:
"Sixty percent!!"
Hearing this, the generals of Shanyang who were present could not help but become a little bit angry again; you must know that the biggest casualties and the price are they paid, these Huaixima teams only rushed for a few rounds, and wanted to divide their gains. Most of it. Then, Qin Zongheng, who was shaken by his eyes, raised his hand and pressed it down and said:
"What about giving him 60%, just let our people choose first, and the rest is enough. Then, it's time to show sincerity as promised... After all, it is not allowed to join hands in the future. Where is the peace thief?"
Having said that, he suddenly called out a name:
"Bi Yaozi!"
In an instant, the former Huainan Zuodu soldier and horseman, who was rushing from Guangling from Guangling, was mixed among the generals, and Bi Shiduo, nicknamed "Bi Yaozi," suddenly became clever and open his mouth to say something, and was suddenly exploded by the huge force that came to him. , Forced the gray-headed face to fall to the ground, and was tied up by Wuhuada in the moment of retreating left and right.
With his mouth gagged and unable to speak, Bi Shiduo couldn't help but stared at the generals of Shanyang headed by Sun Ru with a stunned look, but what he saw was mostly a look and look that shone in expectation and avoidance. At this time, Qin Zongheng slowly said to him:
"Don't blame me, this is also for the good of everyone; at the beginning, Liu (Hanhong) Queer Xuyi secretly formed an alliance with you old brothers and good brothers who have abandoned the Yellow King. It seems that he intends to Chang'an presents a great gift!!"
Then someone reported back one after another:
"Qin Yan who stayed in the city is missing..."
"That divine sword violently killed the man we captured and rushed out of the city..." (End of this chapter)
